Everlong

The Evil Dead-ian influences throughout this video always made it a favourite of mine.

Mute Witness

Despite desperately wanting to see this back in the mid-90s, I still haven't seen this. And I hadn't really thought about much in the last many years. This will serve as a reminder to seek it out.

Runaway

One of my favourite films of 2010.

Runaway

Absolutely one of my favourite films.

Psychomania

One of the greatest opening credit sequences you'll find.

Easy A

Good light fun. Emma Stone wins me over yet again. Hopefully there's more leading roles to come.

Twilight

I've only seen one scene from this film... I rate that scene a solid 4.5 mubi stars.

Kung Fu Hustle

Kung Fu Hustle, where have you been all my life? Or at least these last 6 years or so... It took me far too long to finally see this, but I really dug it. Fun fun fun.

Gwyneth Paltrow

Like others, I find her public persona very grating - in interviews, via her lifestyle website or her child-naming skills. And I haven't been drawn to most of her major films.... But she's given a few truly interesting or vulnerable performances (Hard Eight, The Talented Mr. Ripley and Two Lovers) that I can't help but be overruled into clicking that "Become a Fan" link on her page here, since I suppose we're not grading an actor's personal life here. Also, her final scene in Seven (though only implied) was pretty powerful too.

Kobe Doin' Work

I'm sorry, guys, but I can't be impartial about this one. As a basketball fan, I've been following Kobe Bryant's performances since the first entered the league, so don't expect more than one star for this film. Spike got duped.

Inception

Oh, how I appreciate the films of Christopher Nolan. The themes he regularly explores (deception, misunderstanding, "what is real?") are always exciting and Inception was yet another strong entry to his canon. I'm not yet sure where it ranks among his stellar work... I'm just happy that a cerebral filmmaker like him has gained so much pull in the studio system for now. I can't wait to watch it again.

Dangerous Minds

A pivotal film in cultivating my film tastes, in that it immediately identified a genre of film that I knew I despised - the uninspiring inspirational story where one person can change the lives of everyone around them (and learn something about themselves in the process!) - ala Mr. Holland, Dead Poets, Lean on Me. I think the only movie I've enjoyed (and how!) of this ilk is the great Hard Nelson.

The Gong Show Movie

One of the weirdest, most surreal vanity projects you'll ever see. Not available on home video/DVD but I caught it once on late-night TV a few years ago. Worth seeking out for its absurdity.

Man on Fire

Man on Fire is the absolute epitome of the pink-hatted one's manic, over-the-top, testosterone-filled, over-stylized films. Love it.

Man on Fire

I always confuse Female Convict Scorpion Jailhouse 41 with Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion (http://mubi.com/films/22835) - hard to imagine why... I haven't seen the later but mistakenly rated it earlier, thinking it was this one. Confused yet? I am.

John Stockwell

How is this man's entire directorial catalog of great guilty pleasures not on the mubiteurs yet? Crazy/Beautiful, Blue Crush, Into the Blue, Turistas. All great to look at. All make you wish that you lived by the ocean.

The Confessionnal

At long last, one of my most anticipated Auteurs outcasts has arrived... for me to now give it 5 stars and move on. Fun!

The Room

Unbelievable. Puts to the oeuvre of Uwe Boll to shame. All 3 stars are based on unintentional hilarity and impressive ineptitude.

The Simpsons Movie

Just beautiful animation. It exceeded my fairly high expectations.

The Simpsons Movie

Has the honour of being the film that I took all my friends to for my 11th birthday party. I'm sure they all still appreciate the choice to this day.

Rocky IV

2 extra stars solely for camp value.

Rocky IV

Absolutely loved this movie. The last act may not have been quite on par with the first two, but this was a really fun throwback of a film. Any complaints about pacing are ridiculous - I found that middle section riveting. Best viewed in an empty dark house, of course.

CQ

Such a personal favourite. Thrilled that it's finally appeared at The Auteurs.

Jacob's Ladder

So thrilled to see one of my all-time favourite films finally arrive on The Auteurs. Just a beautiful work. Best watched in complete darkness. Maybe I'll articulate my thoughts more in the future.

Neighbours

This aired on a seemingly endless loop throughout my childhood on Canadian TV and I'm greatful for it. I've surely seen this film as much as any of my personal favourites (yes, likely due to its length) and do feel that my exposure to it and other Norman McLaren / NFB works helped shape the film nut I grew to be. Neighbours is outstanding then and now. Watch it.

Roman Coppola

His sole feature film (as director), CQ, is tonz of funz. I wish he'd stop with the second unit work on his family's stuff and come correct with another great film of his own. I'm very demanding of my filmmakers.

The Evil Dead

Outstanding. This film's entry on The Auteurs was long overdue, so I'm thrilled to see its arrival. The Evil Dead remains one of my favourite, most watched horror films. Hell, it's one of my favourite overall films. I'll never tire of watching it. Never.

The Evil Dead

The same DP as one of the most beautiful films of all time, Don't Look Now. But dude's been shooting mostly shit since then, so I guess that's no longer a selling point.
